These photos cover only about 1.5 hours, from 10:30 AM to just after 12:00 noon. They were on the lower Hillside of Anchorage on May 25, in our backyard of a wooded and fairly private subdivision. Mom & baby are still in our yard and seem to be doing great! Though I have no way of knowing this, I believe it is possible (likely?) that the cow was born nearby and that is why she chose this spot. In about 4 of the last 7 years we have had an older cow show up for a few days with very young twins. This cow looks young to me, and I think it is possible that she could be one of those young calves we have seen in our yard. Nice thought anyway...
